• (Posted 2009-11-15)  CPDL #20482:   

Editor: John Martin (submitted 2009-11-11).   Score information: Letter, 16 pages, 179 kB   Copyright: Personal

Edition notes: This edition has modern clefs and has been transposed up a minor third (as sopranos with Gs are easier to find than basses with low Cs). Traditional barlines have been left out in lieu of small tick marks in order to facilitate a more historically accurate reading while still giving the modern singer a metric reference. Ties between measures have been eliminated. If a note is held over a barline, its full value is placed in the preceding measure (See Choir III mm. 6 - 7 for example).
